Obelisk International notes Turkey’s improving accessibility for British investors.

With one-third of Europe’s population living within one hour of an easyJet airport, the effect that they and other low-cost airlines are having on real estate markets across Europe and beyond, cannot be overstated.

The many new ‘emerging’ real estate markets have a lot to thank airlines such as easyJet and Ryanair for. As countries, and more specifically little known areas of countries, become more accessible, their locations as buy to let or ‘jet-to-let’ investment destinations become more attractive. Countries such as Bulgaria, Poland and even Morocco and Turkey are all reaping the benefits of improved low-cost air connections as their real estate markets continue to enjoy superb growth in terms of development and investment. With new routes opening up all the time, British investors, including clients of Obelisk International, are looking at destinations previously only thought of as places for summer holidays as prospective locations for property investment.

Over the last few years,
Obelisk International has seen a growing number of British people buying property in Turkey. BA and, of course, Turkish Airlines have always flown to the country’s capital (now with a twice weekly service from Dublin too) and now easyJet have recently added Istanbul to its network. However, it is the tourist centres which have become more accessible in terms of regular flights. BA now fly to Dalaman and Izmir and Turkish Airlines also fly direct from the UK to Antalya.

Meeting a growing demand from British property owners, Holidays 4U, the independent Turkey specialist, launched low cost flights to Dalaman from Gatwick and Manchester last year. Due to the success of these inaugural winter flights, this year the company will add Bodrum to its programme.

New flights added this year include BMED’s six flights a week between Heathrow and Ankara and GB Airways’ Gatwick to Dalaman service. In addition, charter operators fly between many UK airports and the tourist centres of Antalya, Dalaman and Bodrum.

There is also more investment on the ground, such as the new airport at Gazipasa and the international terminal at Dalaman Airport, which has a capacity for handling an additional 5 million passengers a year. These and other projects to improve local infrastructures and services, and the surety that there will be more flights from more British airports in the future is all good news for investors in Turkish property. In fact, Turkey has become one of the hottest picks for investors and is proving extremely popular for clients of
Obelisk International.
